What the numbers say
More papers are appearing without a clear jump in per-paper influence.
Annual output went from 183 to 659 papers. If you submit, expect more competition for attention in a larger publication pool. The share of top-10% cited papers moved from 46.2% to 39.0%. Do not assume presence in this journal guarantees placement among the most cited. Recent titles increasingly carry trueness · intraoral · dental · caries · carious. Consider framing a manuscript to fit the growing focus on intraoral diagnostics and caries research. Authors from US went from 21.1% down to 16.1%. If you seek strong regional visibility in the United States, check whether the journal still reaches your target audience.
